I've never heard that. As far as I know, it's known as Adar aleph (A) and Adar bet (B)

  I heard "Adar Rishon" and "Adar Sheni" (written "Adar I" and "Adar II"). I've enjoyed thinking of the latter as like a movie sequel. "Adar II: The Revenge of Adar". Apparently all of these forms are common. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adar#Names_and_Leap_Years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adar#Names_and_Leap_Years

    Right, that's essentially the same thing, with aleph being a shortened way of saying rishon and bet being a shortened way of saying sheni. My original point was that I'd never heard of "ve'adar". Apparently as the Wikipedia entry says, that's less common. Curious if the Mishna or Talmud ever uses "ve'adar" (I've never seen it, but doesn't mean it doesn't exist)

      I learned it from my Hebrew textbook. The article also uses it, alongside Adar 1 & 2
